Why is interstellar matter composed mostly of hydrogen helium and lithium?

The hydrogen and much of the helium in space are primordial; they formed after the big bang after the universe became cool enough for atoms. Some trace amounts of lithium formed as well. All heavier elements require stars in order to form.

What were the first elements that were found in the periodic table?
The first elements in the periodic table are hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron.
What are huge clouds of helium and hydrogen called?
Vast interstellar clouds of hydrogen are known as "nebula."
What makes up most of interstellar matter?
Interstellar gas is made of mainly hydrogen. This is because that is the building for everything and hydrogen is the most common element in the universe.

Which planet is composed of gases?
Jupiter is composed mainly of gases (hydrogen and helium).
What element is transformed in solar fusion?
Our sun mostly transforms hydrogen nuclei into helium by fusion, but it also fuses helium with helium, lithium with hydrogen, and beryllium with hydrogen, to make elements as heavy as boron.
